Hoodia is a cactus-like plant indiginous to Africa. Hoodia Gordonii is the only variety that has any sort of effect on appetite, and it may damage the liver in the long run. Google 'hoodia side effects' or visit my site to read up on it.

Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. 60 Minutes was told that if it wanted to try hoodia, it would have to go to Africa. Why? Because the only place in the world where hoodia grows wild is in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa.

It's very different from diet stimulants like Ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia doesn't stimulate at all. Scientists say it fools the brain by making you think you’re full, even if you've eaten just a morsel.

The first scientific investigation of the plant was conducted at South Africa’s national laboratory. Because Bushmen were known to eat hoodia, it was included in a study of indigenous foods.

'What they found was when they fed it to animals, the animals ate it and lost weight,' says Dr. Richard Dixey, who heads an English pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm that is trying to develop weight-loss products based on hoodia.

Was hoodia's potential application as an appetite suppressant immediately obvious?

'No, it took them a long time. In fact, the original research was done in the mid 1960s,' says Dixey.
